Gobelsburg Sparkling Wine Brut Reserve

12%vol

The typical character of BRUT RESERVE comes from the cool and animating freshness of the Danube region. High-lying and cool vineyards paired with the regional varietal character of Grüner Veltliner, Riesling and Pinot Noir form the style of this classic. The grapes are harvested into small boxes when perfectly ripe and pressed immediately, but only the heart is used for the base wine. After 6 -12 months of barrel ageing, it is bottled for the 2nd fermentation. It now rests on the yeast, which contributes to the creamy texture, for 2 to 3 years until it is shaken and disgorged by hand.

Vine varieties:

Pinot Noir, Riesling, Grüner Veltliner
